Med-R1: Reinforcement Learning for Generalizable Medical Reasoning in Vision-Language Models

arXiv — cs.CV•Tuesday, October 28, 2025 at 4:00:00 AM
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The recent development of Med-R1, a reinforcement learning model for medical reasoning in vision-language tasks, marks a significant advancement in the field of medical imaging. While vision-language models have shown great promise in general image reasoning, their application in medicine has been limited due to the complexity of medical data and the lack of expert annotations. Med-R1 aims to bridge this gap by enhancing the model's ability to provide clinically coherent answers, which is crucial for improving diagnostic accuracy and patient care. This innovation could lead to more effective tools for healthcare professionals, ultimately benefiting patient outcomes.

Foundation Models in Medical Imaging: A Review and Outlook
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
Foundation models (FMs) are revolutionizing medical image analysis by leveraging large datasets of unlabeled data. Unlike traditional methods that depend on manually annotated examples, FMs are pre-trained to extract general visual features, which can be fine-tuned for specific clinical tasks with minimal supervision. This review explores the development and application of FMs in pathology, radiology, and ophthalmology, synthesizing insights from over 150 studies. It highlights the components of FM pipelines and discusses challenges and future research directions.

GMAT: Grounded Multi-Agent Clinical Description Generation for Text Encoder in Vision-Language MIL for Whole Slide Image Classification
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The article presents a new framework called GMAT, which enhances Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) for whole slide image (WSI) classification. By integrating vision-language models (VLMs), GMAT aims to improve the generation of clinical descriptions that are more expressive and medically specific. This addresses limitations in existing methods that rely on large language models (LLMs) for generating descriptions, which often lack domain grounding and detailed medical specificity, thus improving alignment with visual features.

EvoLM: In Search of Lost Language Model Training Dynamics
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
EvoLM is a new model suite designed to analyze the training dynamics of language models (LMs) across various stages, including pre-training and fine-tuning. By training over 100 LMs with 1B and 4B parameters, EvoLM provides insights into the effectiveness of design choices and their impact on both language modeling and problem-solving capabilities. Key findings emphasize the diminishing returns of excessive pre-training and the importance of continued pre-training to mitigate forgetting during domain-specific tasks.

Let Language Constrain Geometry: Vision-Language Models as Semantic and Spatial Critics for 3D Generation
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The paper introduces VLM3D, a novel framework that utilizes vision-language models (VLMs) to enhance text-to-3D generation. It addresses two major limitations in current models: the lack of fine-grained semantic alignment and inadequate 3D spatial understanding. VLM3D employs a dual-query critic signal to evaluate both semantic fidelity and geometric coherence, significantly improving the generation process. The framework demonstrates its effectiveness across different paradigms, marking a step forward in 3D generation technology.

X-VMamba: Explainable Vision Mamba
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The X-VMamba model introduces a controllability-based interpretability framework for State Space Models (SSMs), particularly the Mamba architecture. This framework aims to clarify how Vision SSMs process spatial information, which has been a challenge due to the absence of transparent mechanisms. The proposed methods include a Jacobian-based approach for any SSM architecture and a Gramian-based method for diagonal SSMs, both designed to enhance understanding of internal state dynamics while maintaining computational efficiency.

Doubly Debiased Test-Time Prompt Tuning for Vision-Language Models
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
The paper discusses the challenges of test-time prompt tuning for vision-language models, highlighting the issue of prompt optimization bias that can lead to suboptimal performance in downstream tasks. It identifies two main causes: the model's focus on entropy minimization, which may overlook prediction accuracy, and data misalignment between visual and textual modalities. To address these issues, the authors propose a new method called Doubly Debiased Test-Time Prompt Tuning, aimed at improving model performance in zero-shot settings.

NeuS-QA: Grounding Long-Form Video Understanding in Temporal Logic and Neuro-Symbolic Reasoning
NeutralArtificial Intelligence
NeuS-QA is a new neuro-symbolic pipeline designed to enhance Long Video Question Answering (LVQA) by addressing the limitations of traditional vision-language models (VLMs). While VLMs perform well with single images and short videos, they struggle with LVQA due to the need for complex temporal reasoning. NeuS-QA offers a training-free, plug-and-play solution that improves interpretability by ensuring only logic-verified segments are processed by the VLM, thus enhancing the model's ability to understand long-form video content.
